THOMPSON (née ELLIOTT), Florence Ann
December 25, 1938 - February 19, 2024

On Monday, February 19, 2024, Florence Thompson (Elliott), 85, passed away at Newmarket Health after a long journey with Alzheimer's. Predeceased by her parents, Wallace and Melissa Elliott; and her brother, Roy (Diane), Florence is survived by her children: Donald (Melinda predeceased), Michaela (Josh) and Maia (Craig); sister, Evelyn; and granddaughter, Dana.

An aficionado of gardening, design and colour, Flo (as she was affectionately known) possessed a flare for fashion, socializing, and an arm easily twisted by friends. Raised on a farm in Wallace Township, Flo often shared fond memories of her early days including summertime adventures visiting her grandparents and cousins. Redesigning her adorable tiny house in Udora, ON, the smallest home ever included in the Uxbridge Tour of Homes and a "must-see" stop according to a write-up in the local paper, was one of Flo's proudest achievements.

Fashionista, bowler, dreamer, seamstress extraordinaire and mischief-maker, Flo had many talents and sides to her colourful personality. She spent countless hours in her garden later in life, appreciating bird songs, butterflies, and her gorgeous crab apple blossoms. A true original, Flo will be dearly missed.

Please join us in celebrating the life of Flo Thompson at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 21 at the Breadalbane Inn, (Fergus, ON). Interment will follow at the Bethesda Community Cemetery, (Moorefield, ON). In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation to the Alzheimer Society or to a charity of your choice is welcome.
